9.2.3 Cleaning the chimney
Chimney cleaning can be a difficult and dangerous job. If you don’t have experience
cleaning chimneys, you might want to hire a professional chimney sweep to clean and
inspect the system for the first time. After having seen the cleaning process, you can
decide if it is a job you would like to take on.
The most common equipment used are fibreglass rods with threaded fittings and stiff
plastic brushes. The brush is forced up and down inside the chimney flue to scrub off the
creosote.
The chimney connector assembly should always be cleaned at the same time the chimney
is cleaned.
CAUTION: Operation of your furnace without the baffle may cause unsafe and hazardous
temperature conditions and will void the warranty. NOTE: Before installing the firebrick,
check to ensure that none are broken or damaged in any way. If so, have the damaged
ones replaced. Check the firebrick for damage at least annually and replace any broken or
damaged ones with new ones. Inspection and cleaning of the chimney is facilitated by the
removable baffle.
9.3 Smoke pipe inspection

The smoke pipe must be inspected regularly during the heating season.

The pipe must be examined carefully to detect any defect or damage.
 The pipe can be reassembled if no defect is detected and defective pipe must be
replaced immediately.
 INSPECT FLUE PIPES, FLUE PIPE JOINTS, AND FLUE PIPE SEALS REGULARLY
TO ENSURE THAT SMOKE AND FLUE GASES ARE NOT DRAWN INTO, AND
CIRCULATED BY, THE AIR-CIRCULATION SYSTEM.
9.4 Blower motor maintenance
Periodic cleaning of the blower housing and louvers as well as blower and blower blades
using a vacuum cleaner is necessary in order not to affect performance and cause
overheating of the latter.
